Fancy Fowls and Fancy Prices.

has lately bought sixty fowls OF the

about $500 worth of black Leghorns.
He has number of Plymouth Rocks
that cost ten dollaos each. Mr.. Col

holds 800 eggs. He has $4,000 invest

having invested $4,000. He is the
only rich man that makes money out OF
the business. 1t pays him five pei

and full assortment of lncubatorS

the thermometer indicated zero and
brought their stock of chicks through

How Animals Practice Medicine.

Animals get rid of their parasites by
using dust, mud, clay, etc. Those sui
fering from fever restrict their diet,
keep quiet, seek dark and airy places,
drink water, and sometimes plunge
into it. When dog has lost its appe-
tite. it eats that species of grass, known
as dogs grass, which acts as an emetic
and a purgative. Cats also eat grass.
Sheep and cows when i'll seek out GER
tain herbs. An animal suffering from
chronic rhumatism always keeps, as
far as possible, in the sun. The war
rior ants have regularly organized am
balances. Latreille cut the antennae
of an ant, and other ants came and
covered the wounded part with trans
parent fluid secreted from their mouths.
If chimpanzee be wounded, it stops
the bleeding by placing its hand on
the wound, or dressing it with leaves
and grass. When an animal has leg
or arm hanging on, it completes the
amputation by means of its teeth. A
doc. on being stung in the muzzle by
IA viper, was observed to plunge its
head repeatedly for several days into
running water. This animal eventu-
ally recovered. A sporting dog was
run over bya carriage. During three
weeks in winter it remained lying in
brook. where its food was taken to it.
This animal recovered. A terrier hurt
its right eye. 1t remained under
counter, avoiding light and heat, al
though it habitually kept close to the
fire. 1t adopted IL general treatment,
rest, and abstinence from food. The
local treatment consisted in licking
the upper surface of the paw, which ii
applied to the wounded eye; a2am
licking the paw when it becomes Try.
Animals suffering from truGalc icrar
treat themselves by the conttnucd ap-
plication of cold, which NJ. Delauney
considers to be more certain than any
of the other methods. In view of these
interesting facts, we are, he thinks.
forced to believe that hygiene and ther-
apeutics as practiced by animals may,
in the interest of Psychology, be stud
led with advantage.

Nannlenn ON the Bellerophan.

On the 18th of July, 1915, Napoleon
surrenderd himself on board the Brit
ish man of war Bellerophon. OF his
appearance and bodily condition du-
ring the two months of his stay on
this vessel we have an interesting
account i'm the narrative of Capt. Matt
land. who commanded the ship. Matt
land describes him us 81 remarkably
strong. we'll built, man, about five feet
seven inches high, his limbs partlcu-
larly well formed. with il fine ankle
and very small foot, of which he
seemed rather vain, as he always wore,
while on board the ship, silk stockings
and low shoes. His hands were also very
small. and had the plumpness OF Il
woman's rather than the ROBUSTNESS
of mans. His eyes light gray, teeth
good, aud when lie smiled the express
ion of his countenance was highly
pleasing; when under the influence of
disappointment, however. it assumed
!, dark, gloomy cast. His hair was OF
IL very dark brown, nearly approaching
black, and. though little thin on the
top and front, had not IL gray HAIR
among it. His complexion was very
uncommon one. being of light, sallow
color, differing from any other l ever
met with. From his having become
corpulent he had lost much OF his
personal activity, and, if we are to give
credit to those who attend him, very
considerable portion of his mental en-
ercv was also gone. 1t is certain his
habits were very lethargic while he
was on board the Bellerophon; for,
though he went to bed at s or 8 o'clock
in the evening and did not rise until
about the same hour in the morning,
he frequently fell asleep on sofa IN
the cabin in the course of the day.
His general appearance was that of a
man rather older than he then was.

Difference Between Men and Women.

Seeing that the average brain weight
of woman is about five ounces less
than that of men, on merely anatom.
cal grounds we should be prepared to
expect IL marked inferiority of intel
lectual power in the former. More
over, as the general physique OF wo-
men is less robust than that of men.
and therefore less able to sustain the
fatigue of serious or prolonged BRAIN
action-we should also on physiology
cal grounds be prepared to entertain
similar anticipation. In actual fact
we find that the inferiority displays
itself most conspicuously in compar-
ative absence of originality, and this
more especially in the higher levels OF
intellectual work. In her powers OF
acquisition the woman certainly stands
nearer 70 the man than she does in her
powers of creative thought, although
even as regards the former there IS
marked difference, however. IS one
which does not assert itself till the pc
riod of adolescence-young girls being,
indeed, usually more acqulsltlve than
bows of the same age, as it is proved
by recent educational experiences both
in this country and in America. But
as soon us the brain, and with it the
organism as 1t whole, reaches the stage
of full development, it becomes appar.
ent that there is Il greater power OF
amassing knowledge on the part of the
male. Whether We looked to the gen.
eral average or to the intellectual g.
ants of both sexes, we are similarly
met with the general fact that Wo-
mans information is less wide and deep
and thorough than that of man:
What we regard as a highly cultured
| woman is usually one who has read
largely but specifically; and even IN
the few instances thatran be quoted OF
extraordinary female industry-which
on account of their rarity stand out as
exceptions to prove the rlle-we find
long distance between them and the
much more numerous instances OF
profound erudition among men. AS
musical executants, however, l think
| that equality may be fairly asserted

flowers is absorbed as in the previous
process.
Essences and ''hower-waters' are pro-
duced by ordinary distillation, in which
the flowers are boiled with water in
alembics. The vapor carries off the
perfume. and is condensed in adjoining
cooper tanks, like ordinary spirits.
Some of the retorts used for this pur-
pose are Of sufficient size to receive at
once half ton of fresh flowers with
the requisite water for their distilla-
ton. When s'hower- waters" are to be
produced alcohol is used in the distill-
ing tank to receive the perfumes. BY
skilful combinations Of the perfumes
of different flowers, sometimes with the
addition of chemicals, a large variety
of handkerchiefs extracts, such as
"Patchouli," HJocky Club, ''West
End" ETC., are produced.
All these details of manufacture re-
ouire careful and skilful manipulation.
A mild, uniform temperature is Sc
cured by the heavy stone buildings in
which the process Of absorption is con-
Quoted, and scrupulous cleanliness Is
required at every stage Of the manu-
ture. After removing the pomades
from the frames the glass is removed
and cleansed with alkalies, and the
frames scraped to remove every vestlge
of grease, which, by becoming rancid,
might spoil the product of the next
operation. The work Of the manutac-
ture is largely done by women, who
earn from tenpence to one shilling fol
day of ten hours. During the busy
season of roses and orange-Howers they
earn half as much more by working
until midnight or later.

PREMATURE BURIAL.
The Horrible Experience and Death of an
 Elderly French Woman.

The Horrible Experience and Death of an
 Elderly French Woman.
 Another case of premature burial worthy of being analysed in the real istic manner of Zola has occurred in France. An elderly woman who lived at St. Ouen in Louerie recently fell ill, and, as her friends thought, died. The funeral took place. and as the grave digger was preparing to lower the coffin into the earth he heard mOans issuing from inside the lugubrious four boards enclosing the presumed corpse. The grave-digger, half frightened at the probable ghost which his imagination coniurcd up. and partly awed by the requirements enacted by the law in circumstances such as those in which he found himself placed, left the coffin in care of the mourners and went of with his sombre story to NJ. le Maire. That rural dignitary, having duly donned his scarf of office and summoned the village doctor, pro- ceeded to the local Gods acre" The coffin was then opened, and it was dis covered that the woman had just died from fright, having awakened from a trance to find herself hemmed in be- tween the terrible deal blanks.
 When horrible scenes like this are repeated it is time for the authorities and the public at large to take into consideration the invention of the in- genious undertaken who has adopted as his motto: No more premature burials." This practical person offers to supply in allcases of doubtful death an apparatus by means of which those who have had the misfortune to be buried alive may not only inhale fresh air on their awakening, but also com municate by signal with the world which has left them for dead.-LO1cIOn Telegraph.
